Tempe police have identified a woman who was struck and killed by a vehicle Thursday afternoon.

Patricia Edwards, 78, was in a wheelchair and crossing Rural Road at La Jolla Drive, which is between Southern Avenue and U.S. 60, when she was killed, said Tempe police Detective Lily Duran.

The woman was in an unmarked crosswalk, heading from east to west, when she was hit, Duran said. An unmarked crosswalk is an area in the road where a traditional crosswalk normally would be, but it is not marked, she said.

Edwards was taken to a nearby hospital where she later died of her injuries, police said.
